macro.args
The variable macro.args holds the value of the argument passed to a trusted macro via the MACRO() roll option. macro.args exists only within the macro that is called, and may be manipulated like any variable in a macro.
Examples
When a macro on a library token is called by another macro, the calling macro may pass one argument to the called macro:
| Calling Macro | Called Macro |
|---|---|
<!-- Call the getDamage macro -->
[h:damageDice="2d6"]
[MACRO("getDamage@Lib:test"): damageDice] |
<!-- getDamage Macro -->
[h:damageRoll = eval(macro.args) + 9]
You hit your target for [r:damageRoll] damage! |
In the example above, damageDice is the argument being passed to the macro getDamage, which resides on the Lib:test library token. Within the getDamage macro, the variable macro.args is automatically generated and assigned the value of damageDice.
